Hogan Genealogy & History

Hogan is an Irish name. It is derived from the Gaelic "O'hogain," which means "descendant of Ogan." Ogan was a personal name, derived from the Galiec "Og," meaning "young." Hogan family history begins in Tipperary County, where one of the first recorded instances of the name, Mathew O'Hagan, was Dean of Killaloe church from 1267 until his death in 1281. It is said that all Hogans are descended from an uncle of the High King of Ireland, Brian Boru. Hogan genealogy includes Ben Hogan, widely considered one of the best golfers of all time, as well as Moses Hogan, beloved for his choral compositions and arrangements.
